My friend is writing a book entitled "The Naked Man". In it, she contradicts (based on interviews and research) the common misconception that women are not sexually visual - as compared to men, who are commonly known to "objectify" women. The book explores in further detail what physical aspects of men are in fact attractive to women, and includes photographic portraits as art. As part of the book pitch, I need help finding books that (1) have been successful and (2) are on a similar (but not exactly the same) theme. The purpose is to demonstrate that this book has strong commercial prospects based on previously published works, but that this exact book has not yet been written. An example of a previously published book that would be appropriate is one that deals with e.g. "what men find visually stimulating about women" or "misconceptions about female sexuality". For my answer, a list of such books with the number of copies sold would be ideal. A list of such books that have been listed as best-sellers would also work. Please include html addresses or links as references for your sources. Thank you! P.S. I heard about Google's "Ask a Question" service from a friend and am very excited to try it! |

Not to disappoint your interest in Google Answers, I would volunteer the comment that "the common misconception that women are not sexually visual - as compared to men" is itself a misconception. From the little that I (male) have read, females do appreciate "tight buns", and their eyes don't stop with viewing a man's face. An Australian friend told that his mother - then at least 50 - remarked appreciatively about the well-formed asses of rugby players. A book with that title in translation has already been published: Claude Levi-Strauss' "l'Homme nu" 1971, "The Naked Man", 1981 (see the bibliography at the end of this site, about the middle of it): http://www.press.jhu.edu/books/hopkins_guide_to_literary_theory/claude_levi-strauss.html Since he is a member of Académie Francaise and still alive, use of the title could present problems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Levi-Strauss |
